Wicker pieces

Homeowners and designers in the 1980s raved over pastels, playful geometric pieces, and plenty of florals. Mixed with glass block walls, mirrored closets, and colored bathroom suites, homes from the ‘80s were bright and brash.

Pastel a ents

To capture this aesthetic in a modern way, Krystal Kellerman, senior designer at Martha O’Hara Interiors, suggests earthy colors mixed with pastels. Adding in timeless base materials, such as marble tile and white oak, is the perfect foundation for your design. “Add playful touches with non-permanent elements like fabrics, geometric patterns, wicker furniture, and metallic accents,” shares Kellerman. Then, you’ll have a harmonious blend of past and present!
